Default over spec tires

Would there be any problems besides possible rubbing if I were to run 245/35/20 and 285/30/20? I don't think I'm going to put springs on my car because all the shops around here want close to $500 just for the install. If anything I would do rca's on the front. I'm awd and noticed some others are running 275/30/20 in the rear but the 285/30/20 is almost a perfect match for the front. Thanks for any input.

I'm looking for the same info. The specs match between the 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 and the 275/30/20 is just slightly smaller in diameter. It's also almost and inch less in width. I'm putting on a set of Megan LP coilovers and want to make sure I don't need any fender mods.

I'm running 245-30s front and 285-30s rear, no rubbing issue in the front and only very minor rubbing in the rear during full suspension compress. Car has 1.25" drop all around, rears are shaved and nothing done to the fronts.

Whitena, what did you do to prevent from rubbing? mine rub a lot. I have the same 245/35/20 and 285/30/20. I have very high offset. What did you use for the lowering?
